"Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson has agreed to join Crystal Palace in a deal worth £35 million ($47.2m), sources have told ESPN. ESPN reported earlier this week that the two clubs had agreed a fee but that Johnson had yet to decide on his next club amid interest from Bournemouth, who are looking for a replacement for the Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo. But after talks with Palace boss Oliver Glasner, sources said Johnson has agreed on a move to Selhurst Park. He will start his medical later on Thursday."
"The Wales international finished last season as Spurs' top goalscorer after netting 18 times in all competitions including the only goal in May's historic Europa League final win over Manchester United, securing Tottenham's first trophy in 17 years. However, that success was not enough to keep manager Ange Postecoglou in his job and Frank has used Johnson far less, starting just six league games to date. Johnson joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest for £47.5m (now $64m) in September 2023. Frank -- as has been his season-long tactic -- was eager to not be drawn into speaking about the reports but did confirm that Johnson, who scored the winner for Tottenham in the Europa League final in May, had trained ahead of his return to Brentford on Thursday."
Brennan Johnson has agreed to join Crystal Palace for £35 million and will begin a medical after talks with manager Oliver Glasner. Bournemouth showed interest but Johnson opted for Palace as he weighed his options. Crystal Palace seek reinforcements to cope with the added demands of European competition, currently 10th in the UEFA Conference League after six matches. Johnson finished last season as Tottenham's top scorer with 18 goals, including the Europa League final winner, but has started only six league games this campaign. He joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest for £47.5m in September 2023.
